I contacted soa a week ago via email about the wait issue and to see if they would compensate me for my troubles, they didn't. They also could not locate my car via von which is hillarious since when i call them I can get info on the car. I would say if you didn't want to wait you could jump on a crosstrek or an outback. The forester is being replaced so the new model will get a nice mpg jump in comparison with the current ones. If mpg is a strong factor then you would still have to wait. Also the new forester will be cvt not 4speed auto so there will be a difference in feel. The wait can work to your advantage as you can gear up on stuff needed for car.
happy shopping

I'm going to call my dealer again and tell him I'm just going to wait for it. I called SoA 2 weeks ago and they will be cutting me a check like they are u to help compensate for my time. There are just no other good cars out there that have awd and cost the same. The Mazda 3 is okay but again is fwd and I personally think it looks hideous. So more waiting, sure hope I get a date soon. |

Also I asked for a credit and got one (getting a check when the car gets here). You might try asking for free accessories if they won't give you credit. |

i actually asked for the free accessory and they were complete pains about it so I will just get the thing myself. I told them that if this was how they treat customers they are in for a rude awakening because I don't care about a piece of plastic that I could simply purchase on my own. Also informed them that I would file a complaint for not properly looking up my von and for sending me a form email instead of reading my email. I get irritated when customer service reps try to handle me, I asked a question simply answer it and if you do not know how just say so, don't give me the run around.
On a side note, the red 2013 imp just reached 5k so I changed engine filter to kn and had the car washed and applied sealant to headlights to prevent hazing. I need to have it claybared, sealed, and waxed before winter, also waiting on the headlight armour for fogs to arrive so will slap those on. winter tires also showed up last week now I have 8 tires sitting in spare bedroom Not to say anything but I hope old man winter is severe this year I missed my snow last year. |

YAY!! I am picking mine up tonight!
Technically, it's not mine. Someone who ordered almost the same exact config as me canceled their order and got a different color, and that original order arrived yesterday afternoon. The salesperson emailed me immediately that he had no new status on my VON but that they would hold this for me if I wanted to go in and take it instead. The only difference is that this "new" one has navigation/rear camera (which I opted out of) versus rear spoiler, which I originally selected. I'll take the difference! They honored VIP pricing on it so it was a done deal. It's a White Sport Limited with moonroof and nav and popular package. Original order was sometime in the summer, so I'd assume it was a day 1 order on 08/15. |

Just picked up my 2013 Impreza Sport Limited last night! My dealer happened to have exactly the car I would have ordered come in last Friday morning! I kind of have a thing for DGM!

I'm jealous of all you guys getting your cars in, but glad that people are getting their cars! It gives me hope that I will get mine sooner than later. Still seems like the CVTs are coming in before the 5MTs but I'm sure the CVTs are more popular.
Have fun driving them! |

She's a beaut! I have the same car coming in as you got.
My dealer had said a few weeks ago that I was looking at a December delivery. I just got an email saying that Subaru told them it would be in "anytime". I asked for clarification and am waiting to hear back. Crossing my fingers! |

The SOA order situation is totally absurd and frustrating. I ordered an Impreza Premium, Manual, no options, on 8/14/12. I've been in touch with the dealer, and made periodic calls to SOA to get some idea what exactly is happening with the order. The most information anyone could provide was "car shows November delivery", although not anymore specific than that. Yesterday, I received an email from my dealer, saying the car order is now showing "Hold". The salesperson tried to explain that SOA had changed the way they allocate orders and this has something to do with what the dealers "produce". I'm afraid I didn't understand. I called SOA this morning, and they said they don't know anything, and so they called the sales manager at the dealership? SOA calls me back, and says basically, on one knows anything about the car. The SOA representative couldn't tell me what placing the order on "hold" meant, and he also commented that probably the car wasn't built yet. Everyone has been polite and courteous, but it is amazing that no one has any specific information. If there was another similar car option out there, I'd definitely be leaving Subaru. They certainly have built no loyalty from me, just the opposite.

Order update: my ship has come in
Car is in port so not long now before I pick her up, on target for december. Arrived at ny/nj port, I am guessing anyone with mtl orders for this area will be very happy for christmas. hopefully they can slap on my front underspoiler since I added that last minute. Second Order date 9/28/2012. If at first you don't succeed try try try again. They know winter is coming and new englanders need their cars, sandy had no effect on ship arrival date, luckily. Wait time 4 months. |

My suggestion for anyone else in my situation is to call SoA, be polite and ask for the same compensation. SoA as most know are now telling dealers 16 weeks of waiting until car hits port. They told us guys in the start closer to 6-10 weeks like they did me. I've waited a total of 14 weeks so far. Hopefully my car comes in soon! |

Honestly if you are not good waiting even if its a day or two after the time frame they tell you I would back out sooner than later. Not trying to discourage anyone but the dates they give you are not set in stone and are subject to change. That and many people are getting there cars after or at the end of the date they are told and definitely not at the earliest time frame. |
